I believe in working hard to achieve your dreams. I believe in Karma. And after making my biggest career mistake, I believe in trusting your instincts.
I had just sold my company to CNET and was offered a job to come to Yahoo upon the completion of that sale. As you can imagine, it was a dream opportunity – so, I took it. An added bonus to the new role was I would have been able to sell all of my CNET ...

College will offer you endless choices in every way imaginable--clubs and organizations are no different. Some colleges have so many clubs, it can make activity fairs really intimidating--dozens of tables, posters, energetic students claiming their group is just right for you, and they all want your signature and your email. That may be easy enough, but how do you narrow down your options without being overwhelmed?
Step Back
When it comes to deciding what groups, clubs, or Greek organizations you should sign ...

A summer internship already places you ahead of the game, but that doesn’t mean your increased knowledge and summer experience should be forgotten the moment you step on campus! Here are some great takeaways that translate from the office to the classroom.
Take away 1: Treat your professor like your boss.
Just as the beginning of your internship consisted of you getting to know your boss, the first few weeks of your semester should be spent learning what your professor likes and ...

Seriously, Go to Class
You are now in charge of your schedule. No one is going to be watching over your shoulder and making sure you go to class. Neither mom, nor dad, or even your professor can punish you or dish out a detention for your laziness. With that said, going to class is vital to your success. Class discussions will rarely be posted online, graphs drawn on the board can’t be downloaded, and your comprehension is not guaranteed from ...

Kick Start your Day
“Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” You have heard this a million times growing up. But, there is truth in this statement. If you eat a sugary, carb-loaded breakfast or skip the meal all together, you will struggle focusing in your pre-lunch classes. The best option is to pick something that will stick to your stomach. Oatmeal with fruit and a bit of honey, almond butter and whole wheat toast, granola with Greek ...

Start Early
The best time to make friends in college is at the very beginning (orientation, move-in day, etc.), when no one knows each other. Everyone will be eager to meet new people and establish a solid group of friends. You should do the same!
Be Yourself
Meeting people while pretending to be someone you’re not will doom any possibility of making real friends. There are lots of students on a college campus, so don’t get discouraged if you don’t click with everyone. ...

Manage Your Time
Between classes, friends, clubs, sports, and the countless other other activities that live on a college campus, study time is extremely precious. That being said, it is one of the most misused assets on a college campus. Close that Facebook tab, turn off your phone and use your study time to study.
Be an Active Note-Taker
In college, it’s not enough to just transcribe what your professor says and writes on the board. Make sure you actually absorb the material ...

Clothes
Everyday clothes and shoes for class
Comfortable clothes (like sweats)
At least one set of dress clothes for formals, interviews, etc.
Accessories
Athletic clothes and shoes
Bathing suit
Light jacket
Rainwear
Heavy coat, mittens, hat, boots, long johns, hand warmers, and scarf (if you’re going to a campus with a colder climate)
Stuff for Your Room
Find out the size of your room before you move in to avoid having too much stuff. Elevators are common, but just in case, pack smaller boxes that you can carry up the stairs ...

Orientation
Attending orientation(s) will help make your campus feel more like your home. The more you familiarize yourself with your campus, the less you’ll have to stress during the first week of school.
Know Your Roommate
Get to know your roommate. It doesn’t matter if you have different interests; they are going to be your support throughout the year. College is so much more fun when you are living with a friend.
Attend your Classes
Neither mom, nor dad, or even your professor can punish ...

Class is back in session and the books you rented are making their way to your doorstep. You can check that to-do off your list, but you’ve still got a ton of other expenses that’ll burn a hole in your pocket. But this time around we’re going to foot the bill.
You just saved hundreds of dollars renting your books from us, got some awesome swag in your box, and that warm fuzzy feeling is taking over. Make the most of ...
